Question

Guys help me☺️...

Zetty has x stamps. Rina has twice as many stamps as Zetty. Suzy has 4 stamps less than Zetty. The total number of their stamps is 36. How many stamps does Zetty have?​

Answer 1

Zesty has 10 stamps..

Explanation:

Zetty: x

Ring: 2x

Suzy:x-4

Total=36

x+2x+x-4=36

x=10

2x=20

x-4=6

10+20+6=36

Answer 2

Explanation:

Number of stamps that Zetty has = x

Number of stamps that Rina has = 2*x = 2x

Number of stamps that Suzy has = x - 4

Total stamps = 36

x + 2x + x- 4 = 36 {Combine like terms}

4x - 4 = 36

Add 4 to both sides

4x = 36+ 4

4x = 40

Divide both sides by 4

x = 40/4

x = 10

Number of stamps that Zetty has = 10
